building-up fields saws
Big Ben just kept building up. It ended up coming off the field. It kept taking over. Superman kept taking over Clark Kent and you just never saw who Ben Roethlisberger was any more.
honor half very-happy
It's an honor to be compared with Terry Bradshaw. If I could do half of what he did, I'd be very happy.
sports football smart
I feel that Im not losing the game for our team. Im trying to give us the best opportunity to win the football game. I did everything I could to lose the Jets game but we won. And the Patriots game, I didnt play well. I think that this year, I just come out and play smart football. I got some good advice the other day (from CBS Sports Dan Dierdorf): Every drive that ends in a kick is a good drive.
heart talking fields
In my heart, I know I haven't been the best person, the best quarterback for the Steelers. I'm not talking just on the field, I'm talking off the field.
football winning mvp
I know I probably never will win the league MVP or passing title. That is not why I play the game. I try to win football games and championships.

Leadership is something you earn, something you're chosen for. You can't come in yelling, 'I'm your leader!' If it happens, it's because the other guys respect you.

When there are doubters, it always fuels the fire a little bit. When people say you can't do something, if you are a competitor, that drives you.
against believed
We had nothing to lose. No one believed in us but us. We're going to feel like it's us against the world one more time.
expected lose second
We had nothing to lose. Everyone expected us to lose the first game. Everyone expected us to lose the second game. Everyone expected us to lose this game. We had each other's back the whole way. Sometimes that's all you want is each other.
fans knew
We knew this was going to be a battle. The fans and (the media) are the ones (who thought otherwise).
role underdogs
We know we're going to be the underdogs and we probably like that role a little more.

That's the microscope we live under as professional athletes, ... That's part of the deal when you sign on the dotted line and see the fine print.

That's been my driving force all year. I'm just glad that I didn't have to cry and apologize to him that I couldn't get him there.
apologize cry driving force glad promise
That's been my driving force all year. I'm glad I didn't have to cry and apologize to him that I didn't get him there. I feel a lot better I can keep my promise to Jerome getting him back to Detroit.
